Rights That Islam Gives to Women
Human Rights
Islam considers a woman to be equal to a man as a human being and as his partner in this life. Women have been created with a soul of the same nature as man’s. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:
"O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever and All-Watcher over you." (Al-Nisa 4:1)
And in the words of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW),
"Assuredly, women are the twin halves of men." (Sahih reported by Abu-Dawud (RA)
Islam does not blame Eve alone for the First Sin. The Quran makes it very clear that both Adam and Eve were tempted, that they both sinned and were both forgiven after their repentance. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:
"Then Satan whispered suggestions to them both in order to uncover that which was hidden from them of their private parts (before); he said: "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree save you should become angels or become of the immortals." And he (Satan) swore by Allah to them both (saying): "Verily, I am one of the sincere well-wishers for you both." So he mislead them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree, that which was hidden from them of their shame (private parts) became manifest to them and they began to stick together the leaves of Paradise over themselves (in order to cover their shame). And their Lord called out to them (saying): "Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: Verily, Satan is an open enemy unto you?" They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not, and bestow not upon us Your Mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers." (Allah) said: "Get down, one of you an enemy to the other (i.e. Adam, Eve, and Satan, etc.). On earth will be a dwelling-place for you and an enjoyment, - for a time." He said: "Therein you shall live, and therein you shall die, and from it you shall be brought out (i.e. resurrected)."(Al-A’raf 7:20-25)
In Islamic law a woman is an independent, unique individual in her own right. She has the same responsibilities towards herself, towards Allah (SWT) and towards other human beings as the male, and will be punished or rewarded in the Hereafter without discrimination towards her female gender.
Civil Rights
There is no compulsion in religion according to the Quran:
"There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut [anything worshipped other then the Real God (Allah)] and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower."(Al-Baqarah 2:256)
A Muslim woman is not permitted to change her family name to her husband’s name upon marriage. She is always known by her father’s name, as a mark of her own identity. In choosing a marriage partner, her consent to accept or reject any prospective suitor for marriage must be respected. A Muslim woman has the right to seek divorce, if necessary within the laws of Islam.

Untuk Tatapan Wanita
FAKTOR MERENDAHKAN MARTABAT SEORANG WANITA
1) Lupa mengingat Allah
Kerana terlalu sibuk dengan tugas dan kegiatan luar atau memelihara anak-anak, maka tidak hairanlah jika banyak wanita yang tidak menyedari bahawa dirinya telah lalai dari mengingat Allah. Dan saat kelalaian ini pada hakikatnya merupakan saat yang paling berbahaya bagi diri mereka, di mana syaitan akan mengarahkan hawa nafsu agar memainkan peranannya.
Firman Allah s.w.t. di dalam surah al-Jathiah, ayat 23: ertinya:
” Maka sudahkah kamu melihat orang yang menjadikan hawa nafsunya sebagai Tuhannya dan Allah membiarkannya sesat berdasarkan ilmunya. Dan Allah telah mengunci mati pendengaran dan hatinya dan meletakkan tutupan atas penglihatannya.”
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w.: ertinya:“Tidak sempurna iman seseorang dari kamu, sehingga dia merasa cenderung kepada apa yang telah aku sampaikan.” (Riwayat Tarmizi)
Mengingati Allah s.w.t. bukan saja dengan berzikir, tetapi termasuklah menghadiri majlis-majlis ilmu.
2) Mudah tertipu dengan keindahan dunia.
Keindahan dunia dan kemewahannya memang banyak menjebak wanita ke perangkapnya. Bukan itu saja, malahan syaitan dengan mudah memperalatkannya untuk menarik kaum lelaki agar sama-sama bergelumang dengan dosa dan noda. Tidak sedikit yang sanggup durhaka kepada Allah s.w.t. hanya kerana kenikmatan dunia yang terlalu sedikit.
Firman Allah s.w.t. di dalam surah al-An’am: ertinya:
” Dan tidaklah penghidupan dunia ini melainkan permainan dan kelalaian dan sesungguhnya negeri akhirat itu lebih baik bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa, oleh kerana itu tidakkah kamu berfikir.”
3) Mudah terpedaya dengan syahwat.
4) Lemah iman.
5) Bersikap suka menunjuk-nunjuk.
Dunia adalah perhiasan, perhiasan dunia yang terbaik adalah Wanita yang solehah.

"Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses."
"Life without love is like a tree without blossom and fruit."
"Love is always open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself. "

"Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies."
"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can."
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
"What we have to get straight in our heads is that owning the money doesn’t mean ANYTHING.
"It’s the DOING with money that develops us - it’s not in the having. And when you have more, you’re enabled to DO more."
"Life reflects your own thoughts back to you."
"The true test in life does not occur when all is going well. The true test takes place when we are faced with challenges."

city nowadays
I have a story to share with. I was in Shah Alam last weekend to meet my old friends. I stayed in her hostel and we went out the last two days. We went to Plaza Alam Central and I was shocked with the environment there. I went to the 'surau' to perform my prayer which is in the fifth floor. When I was there, I felt so terribled seeing that 'surau'. It was so small and I could see only few people there. The surrounding was so terrible and I am sure if all of you have been there before, you would definitely feel the same. I felt quite depressed with it but I know that I could nothing. What I can say; city life! city life! We as muslims are still not aware about thing likes that and just keep close our eyes. We all can not predict our future and who knows somedays we will be like Palestin. I am sure nobody wants it. So let us change our mind, protect our Islam religion because it is the only truth religion which is said in Al-quran.

Woman as a raped victim
Nowadays we can see a lot of rape cases in media mass.These are the fenomena that we are facing in our community. Are we going to see the women's future life be destroyed by all the culprit men who behave worser than an animal.For them, women are the symbols of sex, luss and enjoyment. They do not realised who has brought them to this world; they come from the women's womb.Their mothers are women and what they will feel if one of their family members been raped by others. I am sure that they are going to be suffered.Therefore, I urge all the people especially men, appreciate and respect women in their life. Without women, they are going to be alone because women are the happiness in life.
